Story

Hello everyone, and thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

This July, I'm taking on my most ambitious challenge yet: to summit Mount Kilimanjaro, the roof of Africa.

This journey to 5,895 metres will be the toughest physical and mental test I've ever faced, and I wanted to use this once-in-a-lifetime event to raise funds for two causes that do incredible work.

For this challenge, I'm proud to be supporting both The Christie Charity and Conwy Freewheelers. This page is dedicated to raising funds for The Christie Charity, a cause that provides life-changing support for cancer patients and their families.

The Christie is one of the largest and most respected cancer treatment centres in Europe. The funds raised by The Christie Charity provide enhanced services that go above and beyond what the NHS can fund. This includes everything from groundbreaking research and clinical trials to providing complementary therapies and support for patients and their families during the most difficult of times. Every donation helps to make a tangible difference in the fight against cancer.

On a local level, I am also supporting Conwy Freewheelers, a brilliant adapted cycling club started by my friend, Ben, with local council support. Now it's run entirely by volunteers and offers freedom and fun to adults and children with diverse abilities. (If you would prefer to donate to this cause, you can do so on my other fundraising page here: https://www.justgiving.com/page/himanshu-hikes-kili-conwy).

As I take on the steep slopes of Kilimanjaro, I'll be driven by the thought of the incredible resilience shown by the patients at The Christie.

Any donation you can make to The Christie Charity through this page will be hugely appreciated. It will help fund vital research, treatment, and care for people affected by cancer.

Thank you for your incredible generosity
